Teen Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

At The Living Room, we are committed to helping teenagers move through the challenges of substance use with compassion and skillful guidance. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Adolescents is designed to provide specialized addiction care that honors the unique struggles young people face, while also supporting their education, relationships, and personal growth. Recovery at this age is not just about stopping harmful behaviors, it’s about learning to live with balance, presence, and resilience.

Our program is specifically designed for teens who require a thoughtful, age-appropriate approach to recovery:

1. Age-Appropriate Care: Teens living with addiction have distinct needs and concerns. Our program offers counseling and therapy tailored to their stage of development.
2. Continued Education: We understand the importance of school. Our outpatient format allows teens to maintain academic commitments while receiving treatment.
3. Safe and Supportive Environment: We provide a nurturing space where teens can heal, grow, and begin shaping a healthier future free from alcohol and drug addiction.

Teens face unique challenges when it comes to substance use and recovery. Their brains and identities are still developing, and treatment must reflect that. At The Living Room, our Teen IOP is not simply a smaller version of the adult program. Rather, it is a parallel track designed specifically for adolescents. We create an environment where recovery skills can be practiced in real time, while still supporting school, family, and social life.

Here are some of the ways our Teen Substance Use Disorder IOP is tailored for young people:

• A separate track from the adult program, where teens grow with their peers.
• Tailor-made curriculum that addresses adolescent development and challenges.
• On-site teachers available as needed to help students stay on track academically.
• IOP flexibility allows teens to continue most or all of their coursework while in treatment.
• Our Teen IOP bridges treatment and everyday life, helping teens adopt a recovery lifestyle.
• Provides ample structure and continued treatment while encouraging real-worth experience to season nascent addiction recovery. 

This balance of structure and freedom helps teens build confidence, practice new coping strategies, and experience recovery as something that strengthens—not interrupts—their daily lives.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program for NJ teens  offers a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the needs of young people in recovery:

Individual Counseling: One-on-one sessions with experienced counselors who understand the unique struggles of adolescence.

Group Therapy: A chance to connect with peers, share experiences, and learn from one another in a safe, supportive setting.

Family Involvement: Families are encouraged to participate in the healing process through counseling and support programs.

Education and Life Skills: Teens learn coping strategies, communication skills, and practical tools to support lasting sobriety.

Mental Health Support: We address co-occurring emotional and mental health concerns, recognizing that substance use often overlaps with anxiety, depression, or trauma.

Adolescence is a critical time for growth and self-discovery. Addiction can make that path feel uncertain, but recovery is possible with the right support. Our Addiction Treatment IOP for Teens provides the guidance, tools, and compassionate care needed to break free from harmful cycles and build a more grounded, hopeful future.

At The Living Room, we walk alongside teens and their families, offering steady support as they learn to live with clarity, resilience, and choice.
